997 Chapter 997
The voice was sharp, and the woman could not help but be terrified.
“I planned everything! Don’t hurt them.”
As she spoke, she had already arrived in front of Jiang Ming and shielded him with her weak body.
“There’s no need…”
Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly.
Why did it feel so strange to be protected by a woman?
Just as he was thinking about this, the person who spoke quietly arrived in front of Jiang Ming.
He was similar to Ning Keke, but he was a man.
“Are you Ning Keke’s older brother?”
Ning Sansheng looked at Jiang Ming in surprise.
“I didn’t expect you to recognize me. However, it doesn’t matter. You guys should just stay here obediently.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and released some fine powder. The powder quickly evaporated in the air.
The woman suddenly fainted. Jiang Ming quickly caught her and secretly sealed his sense of smell.
Ning Sansheng looked at Jiang Ming in surprise when he saw him standing there.
“How can you be safe? Do you have the antidote?”
“I don’t know if there’s an antidote. I only know that you can’t escape.”
Jiang Ming smiled. Under Ning Sansheng’s confused gaze, he instantly rushed in front of him and used his spiritual energy to conjure a rope, directly binding the other party.
With this binding, his hands were tightly bound.
Ning Sansheng had never suffered such awful treatment. He cursed and shouted angrily, “Kid, what do you want? Do you still want to escape? How are you going to get out if you don’t beg me to let you out.”
Jiang Ming saw Ning Sansheng’s intentions. He shouted coldly and went forward to grab his neck.
Ning Sansheng was speechless. He felt a sharp pain in his neck.
He raised his hand and gestured at Jiang Ming, wanting him to forget about him. He felt a lingering fear in his heart.
This was the world of the Ning family’s paintings. It was too bizarre for him to be restrained like this. He was supposed to be untouchable!
Thinking of this, he tried to use his mind to automatically loosen the ropes, but the ropes just would not loosen.
He simply looked at Sikong Wuyuan.
Sikong Wuyuan suddenly felt that his body was out of control, and he kept moving toward Jiang Ming. He felt aggrieved.
It was not the first time he had been controlled!
Jiang Ming had expected this. Seeing this situation, he also tied Sikong Wuyuan up.
“Since you have my companion under your control, you two can be friends.”
He patted Sikong Wuyuan and Ning Sansheng’s shoulders.
“Ning Sansheng!” Sikong Wuyuan reacted and shouted, “You wish! I will never collude with you!”
Ning Sansheng was about to explode.
This was the first time he felt so helpless. Furthermore, he was the one who was in charge of the world in the painting. This was too humiliating.
After thinking for a moment, he simply conjured a few people out of thin air.
These people looked like clay dolls. Jiang Ming crushed them effortlessly with one hand, shocking Ning Sansheng and the others.
Ning Sansheng was speechless.
“Aren’t these clay figurines extremely sturdy? How can they be so fragile? If this continues, I’ll be a sitting duck.”
“Brat, who let you come here? And you’re so disrespectful to our guests!”
Coincidentally, at this moment, Master Ning appeared and raised his hand to give Ning Sansheng a slap.
“Father, what are you doing?” Ning Sansheng was upset. “Didn’t you say that I can do whatever I want with the things in this painting? Can you touch these two people?”
Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan could not help but feel incredulous when they saw Master Ning’s new attitude.
Master Ning was not like this at the beginning.
They could not help but predict his next sentence.
“The old madam of the Shang family is here, she wants to see you two,” Master Ning smiled and said respectfully to the two of them.
“So, we don’t need to be in this painting?”
Yuan Hehe became excited.
He did not want the livor mortis to continue expanding.
“Of course not! I need the two of you to agree to a request of mine. Otherwise, I can’t let you out.”
Master Ning smiled threateningly.
“What do you want?”
Jiang Ming seemed to have understood something and sat down.
If Master Ning went too far, he did not mind using force to reason things out.
“This request is not too much. The Ning family just wants to cooperate more with the Shang family.”
Master Ning played with the bead in his palm and threw it out as he spoke.
“Of course, as long as the two of you help me fulfill this request, I can get you out of the painting and also help you with other things.”
This condition was extremely tempting, but Jiang Ming could see the killing intent in Master Ning’s words. He could not help but smile. “You’re right. I think we should continue to stay here.”
“Huh?” Yuan Hehe was confused. He said to Jiang Ming in his heart, “Your Majesty, are you sure? This is not a place where you can stay for long. I don’t even know if you have livor mortis on your body.”
Master Ning’s eyes were filled with confusion as he sized up Jiang Ming.
How was he so unafraid of death?
Ning Sansheng still could not tell what was going on. He kept saying proudly, “Stop pretending. Isn’t this good? Aren’t you just trying to force my father to give you more benefits? What more do you losers want?”
“What do you mean? How are we losers? You seem to have something to ask of us, right?”
Hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan was unhappy, and he glared at Master Ning and Ning Sansheng angrily.
“Ah, don’t be angry. This is all a misunderstanding. You can consider this condition. After all, this isn’t a long-term solution.”
Master Ning was still smiling. Jiang Ming felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it. “I understand. Please go back.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming did not seem to be moved at all. Master Ning felt that he had suffered a setback, but he could not continue to say anything.
“Jiu Zhu, Sikong Wuyuan, Yuan Hehe,” Ning Sansheng said irritably. “Don’t be so shameless.”
Jiang Ming was a little surprised when he heard him say their names correctly.
They had not said all their names, so how did he know?
“You unfilial son, why aren’t you coming back with me? What are you doing here?”
Master Ning realized that something had been exposed and wanted to leave with Ning Sansheng, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
“Master Ning, Young Master Ning, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?” he said without hesitation.
The rest of the people also felt that something was wrong and stopped the two of them.
